Does the idle speed drop when it "shakes"?

Must be damaged in some manner; out of balance? Broken blade maybe?

+1. There might be a slim chance that it's a weak alternator, but with the engine speed not changing, I highly doubt it.

Must be physical damage on the fan somehow like cliff said.

OP, can you get some photos of the fan with the blades rotated to 2 or 3 positions so we can see the whole thing?
